Scaffolded worksheet that I used with a mid to low ability Year 7 group to build on place value to multiply and divide decimals, but absolutely perfect for KS3 & 4 as this often poses difficulty with foundation GCSE students. The worksheet features a worked example alongside an incomplete example. This makes it suitable to use for a “follow along” example in class; for a piece of catch up work, homework or revision; or even for use as part of a cover lesson.

Teacher planner that is perfect for trainee teachers and NQTs. It has a pages for Monday to Friday plus a single page for the weekend. Each weekday is split into 5 lessons with before/ after school, break/ lunchtime and form period. If you would like these pages to follow a different format, let me know and I am happy to update the post. This is just the most common school day in my area. There are also pages for targets, lesson reflections and briefing/ meeting notes. These are perfect for you to fill in to not only gain an idea of where you are developing and what keeping track of what needs doing, but also for you to be able to use to collect evidence for your standards file (it’s what I am using them for!) There is also a list of the standards included. Simply print the pages that you want/ need and you have your own teacher planner. My preferred way to organised them is in a standard A4 ringbinder separated into each of the six halfterms.

This grid 8x5 grid contains 40 different one and two step equations. The layout is designed such to be used in different ways. The most simple use is for repetitive practice early on as pupils can work through a progression of questions. Another use is a game of 4 in a row. Going head to head with peer, who can be the first to get 4 in a row? Or, projected onto a whiteboard (interactive or otherwise), it can be used as a whole class team game of Blockbusters (either two class teams or beat the teacher!). Who can create a path from left to right or top to bottom first? This works well because they get progressively more challenging going right to left and top to bottom meaning they can’t just choose the “easy” ones!

50 Questions covering basic area. Covers area of a square, rectangle, triangle, parallelogram and trapezium. Each set of 10 questions is preceeded by a worked example, all of which demonstrate a good way of laying out work as a reminder of expectations for presentation.

Worksheet to consolidate work on area of a circle. It includes questions on: area of a circle given radius area of a circle given diameter area of a semi circle given radius area of a semi circle given diameter finding the radius given the area Each different type of question has a worked example. Perfect for with a KS3 class learning area of a circle for the first time or a GCSE class revising the topic.

A 9 slide PowerPoint in which pupils have to state which angle relationship is being represented: alternate, corresponding or co-interior. This was used with a low ability year 8 group to assess whether they could spot the shapes of the relationships (F, Z and C angles) whilst still reinforcing the correct names (as is now required at all levels at GCSE).

This basic angle facts recall starter covers the three angle facts that are learnt in KS2 and revisited in KS3 and KS4. These are: angles on a straight line sum to 180 degrees angles around a point sum to 360 degrees vertically opposite angles are equal It features incomplete sentences for an element of literacy at the start of the lesson as well as 3 questions per fact, each of which is accompanied by an example that simply shows the size of the angles to help jog their memory!

Ideal introductory lesson for expressing as a ratio. Has a lot of visuals making it perfect for Key Stage 2 and SEND/MLD/ low ability learners in secondary. Success Criteria:  I can describe what is meant by a ratio  I can represent a shared quantity as a ratio  I can write a ratio in its simplest form Full lesson from starter to plenary and everything in between. The lesson is entirely self contained on the PowerPoint to reduce the need for printing. Activities have differentiation with BSG.

Lesson PPT on percentage increase and decrease. It’s a bare bones PPT as it is one that I have used with multiple classes and I always want to tweak it for each class so it’s ready for your extra touch.

Loop card activity for factors, multiples and prime numbers. Ideal starter. Works well in KS2 and KS3 Perfect intervention activity for small groups Or paired/ independent learning activity

Homework Menu for Expressing as a ratio Works well for KS2/KS3 SEND/MLD Pupils choose their own questions, answering a minimum of 5. Includes answers Perfectly compliments the lesson: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/expressing-as-a-ratio-12139605

The slides automatically progress after around 10 seconds (adjust the time you tell the class if needed, I find 6 seconds gives them the amount of urgency needed to focus and settle!) This resource was originally used at the start of a lesson on adding/ subtracting fractions as it helps recall all the needed skills. The questions in each set get progressively more difficult allowing for challenge at each stage. Works well for KS2/3 and SEND

This PPT contains 4 fully editable slides, easy to be adapted for tutor time. There is a numeracy, literacy, citizenship and study skills slide, all of which can be easily added to with a simple task as per your school’s policy. The slides also contain a section for each notices and reminders to have a visual reminder of things such as "remember to bring your reply slip" or “the south yard is out of use during break this week” or even “stay away from the third floor corridor unless you wish to die a most painful death”.

By using the “count the squares” method, pupils are able to discover the area of a circle. This circle is on a cm square grid, enabling them to get a good estimate of the area of the circle which can then be used to consider in relation to pi. I always like to reward the person who can get closest to the “calculator answer”.

This 10 page sample of the full Times Table Workbook has a variety of activities to allow young learners to practice their newly acquired 2x table knowledge independently. Upon mastery of each times table skill, students are rewarded with a certificate that they can colour in and write their name on to truly celebrate their achievement. Also features the ever popular Times Tables Game within each section so children can work together or with siblings/ parents to roll the dice and reinforce their knowledge.
